Ok residents of the Northeast - What does the soft drink Moxie taste like? I just found out that it is a very old soda and is still popular in your area. The comment was made that it is considered to be Maine's state drink!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete, It was the 1st soda invented in the late 1800's long before coke or pepsi. It was invented in Maine. Lisbon Falls, ME claims to be the Moxie capital of the world and has an annual parade. It's the only soda I drink. Ironically, it is bottled under license from an Atlanta, GA company. Not only is it delicious, it is good for an upset stomach, hangover, and even tastes good with rum.

I never heard of it, did they mix anything in it like coke did in the early days? ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

Eric, I don't think so. As far as taste, you either like or you don't. ------------- |

I think it has something to do with the term 'He's got Moxie!' ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

Mike, ice has been out for a few weeks. The snow is even gone and I wheeled the Mustang out last week. Is the ice off Mousam?
What's good about Moxie is that it is not sweet. It's the best thing to drink if you don't want to drink beer. ------------- |

My thanks again to Gary for finding the Moxie and introducing me to it at GL. Yes, it is a very difficult taste to describe! Peter is close describing it as a off taste Dr. Pepper, but I wouldn't go as far as the sulfur and fuel oil!
Tom (gotta), I don't know about the rat idea - I haven't been sniffing or licking rat's lately!! The bottom line is I do like the stuff. My wife did find a local source and I have the feeling I'm going to find some in my Christmas stocking this year! I'm going to have to try Bruce's mix with the rum since I feel he's the pro on the Moxie. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I tried Moxie over the weekend as Bruce Hart and his two sons, Dave and Tom, were in town to pick up their new boat. They'll be posting picts of that elsewhere. I really like the Moxie, and to me it indeed tastes similar to Dr. Pepper, which I also like, with maybe a hint of ginger ale, as there's a small,clean, bite to it. The Moxie would make a great natural sponsor to this site with it's orange can and blue letters. I also enjoyed a couple of delicious, fresh, i.e, still alive, Maine lobstahs which Bruce brought down. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Great pic Skicat. Biddeford Pool is definately NOT where I took that photo of the Moxie stand. ------------- |

Sorry 'Cat, but I ate the clams along with the lobsters. That's a cool boat, huh. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

True. Funny thing is,if the Moxie stand was on a lot in Biddeford Pool,someone would happily come along from out of state and buy it up for half a mil, just so they could burn it down and build a house there. Sharp boat,though. Mike ------------- http:/diaries/details.asp?ID=2219" rel="nofollow - Air Nautique 210 Team 640 hours, not 1 regret |

Reid, you're not being a traitor to North Carolina's own "Cheerwine" are you. Always a ritual for us on our first day back down there to go pick up a cold Cheerwine at the corner store.  ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Larry, I love the Cheerwine too, but man is it sweet. I'll go thru certain drive-thru's and have them mix the Cheerwine with Pepsi or Coke. Now that's good.
Apple pie? Did someone say apple pie? Oh my, all of a sudden I'm back at GL at the Goose Blind, with the Classic Basta%ds, and hittin' that ShotSki, loaded with shots of tasty apple pie. Now that's good times.  ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Reid,I saw on the Food Network one time that somewhere in Texas,a small bottling plant still makes Dr Pepper with sugar and uses glass bottles. Can't remember where but maybe one of our Texas members knows. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |
